Advice means an actual information which you give someone. Advise is only a verb. 
Example: I advise you to heed my advices. _________________ I can eat 5 plates of chicken rice at 1 go...! |

Hi NS,
As you know English can be a tricky language. Or shall I say, English is a very idiomatic language? At any rate, there are lots of nouns that can be either countable or uncountable or both. Information and advice both are uncountable. This means, you can give a piece of information or a piece of advice to somebody. Or you can give them some information and some good advice.
Now, if I may give you some advice: Google your phrases if you are not sure whether or not they are good idiomatic English. As a matter of fact, it probably would be very useful to create a guide on how to use Google and other online resources to learn English more effectively.
Here is an example: If you google your phrase "heed my advices" you will see that there only 144 results all of which come from rather questionable websites. "Heed my advice" on the other hand, produces more than 43,000 results... _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |
